What fortune-telling books did Zeng Guofan write _ What fortune-telling books did Zeng Guofan write?
It is said that "three generations are not rich", but there are not a few families who are richer than three generations in history.
The most famous "rich generation" is the Rothschild family
On one occasion, when Rothschild visited China and was asked about the secret of staying rich, he said:
"The best students in China study finance, and my children choose philosophy. I think philosophy can make people live more clearly. "
In other words, he thinks that the Rothschild family can stay rich by philosophy.
Why should we rely on philosophy instead of finance to stay rich?
Zeng Guofan's letter to the fourth brother: "There are eight strategies for managing the family" embodies the philosophy of life and can prove Rothschild's point of view.
What are these eight-character formulas?
In Zeng Guofan's view, the first thing to do in running a family is to learn vegetables, fish and pigs.
Books refer to reading; Vegetables: refers to planting vegetables; Fish: refers to raising fish; Pig: refers to raising pigs.
Why does he think so?
0 1 reading
Regarding reading, Zeng Guofan thinks that a family that doesn't study is hopeless.
In the Qing dynasty, where he lived, "everything was inferior, and only reading was high."
All industries are insignificant, except for entering the official career through reading.
Today, there are 360 lines, and every line is a champion. It cannot be said that all industries are low. However, reading is still the most powerful weapon for you to climb to the top of the economic or political pyramid.
Do not believe you look at Buffett, Bill Gates, Ma Yun and others at the top of the economic golden tower, all of whom love reading;
Look at our party at the top of the political pyramid. They are all people who love reading.
How to get rich? Only reading.
02? Vegetable, fish and pig
After reading it, let's talk about "vegetables, fish and pigs".
Zeng Guofan emphasized these three things, in fact, to make it clear: do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing.
Have you ever seen diligent people starve to death?
number
Only lazy people will starve to death.
When I was in primary school, a classmate in our class couldn't afford the tuition because his family was poor.
Why is his family poor?
Because his parents are lazy.
When my grandmother heard about this situation, she said that this classmate's parents were really lazy. In fact, as long as they are a little diligent, even if they plant some vegetables and choose to sell them in the market when they are ready, they will certainly be able to make up hundreds of dollars to pay tuition for their children.
Therefore, lazy people cannot be saved.
In Zeng Guofan's view, in addition to "books, vegetables, fish and pigs", it is also necessary to "sweep treasures early".
Early means getting up early; Sweep, finger sweep; Textual research refers to offering sacrifices to ancestors; Cherish refers to good interpersonal relationships.
0 1 get up early
Let's talk about getting up early first.
Zeng Guofan said: "Being a man starts from getting up early, and the key is whether you can cheer up and let this heart dominate."
Nan huaijin, a famous scholar, said, "Whoever can control the morning can control his own life."
See how those awesome people control their own mornings and then their own lives.
Kobe has seen Los Angeles at 3 am;
Wang Jianlin, starting a one-day tour at 5 o'clock;
Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, got up at 4 o'clock to exercise.
They all say that the early bird catches the worm. If you can't even get up early, how can you control your life?
Franklin once said, "I have never seen an early riser, diligent, cautious and honest person complaining about his bad life."
If you think your life is not good, start by getting up early.
02 cleaning
Speaking of getting up early, let's say cleaning.
Next, I will share with you the experience of a young man.
The young man plans to open a shop in the street where his home is located in half a year. He asked his father what to prepare first.
Father said, clean the street first every day. Besides, if anyone is in trouble, give him a hand.
Although young people were dubious about it, they did it anyway.
Half a year later, the young man's shop opened.
To his surprise, almost all the neighbors in the whole street became his customers.
A few months later, many people from the neighboring street also came.
After more than a year, the whole city knew about him and his shop.
So he opened a branch and a chain store, and became an entrepreneur with tens of millions of assets.
It can be said that the young man's success began with cleaning the streets.
As the saying goes, "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" If you can't even clean your own house, how can such an unreliable person expect him to accomplish other important things?
03 Sacrificing ancestors
Why did Zeng Guofan emphasize offering sacrifices to ancestors?
I think it's because he especially hopes that himself, his brothers and sisters, and the younger generation can follow the example of his grandfather Zeng Yuping, a "Hong Kong-making man".
It was Zeng Yuping who created the eight-character formula for managing the family, and it was this that made Zeng Guofan's generation brilliant.
In my opinion, Zeng Guofan believes that ancestor worship is to maintain a kind of awe of ancestors.
Ancestors are like gods, watching your every move.
Only by maintaining this awe and innocence can we heal our family.
04 improve interpersonal relationships
Zeng Yuping often said:
"People treat others with priceless treasures."
That's true. Just like the young man mentioned above, on the surface, he won the appreciation of his neighbors for cleaning the streets, so they came to visit the shop opened by this young man. Actually, it's because he has a good relationship with his neighbors.
Essentially, you only pay for people you trust.
So this young man won the hearts of the people and made his later career successful.
This shows that the human heart is priceless. The more people you win, the more valuable you are.
Don't just believe that you are richer than three generations. There are actually many "rich generations" like the Rothschild family.
Because really rich people keep a low profile.
Unlike those high-profile upstarts, real rich people turn their families into aristocrats.
By adopting Zeng Guofan's eight-character strategy of managing the family, they became real nobles.
At home, truly intelligent people are reading Zeng Guofan.
I know a big boss who is worth over 100 million yuan. Money is just a number to him.
However, this boss is very crisis-conscious, and feels that if family members don't make progress, it is easy to repeat the tragedy of Jia's family in A Dream of Red Mansions.
To this end, he often called his brothers to study Zeng Guofan together.
In ancient times, there were few great men who could do things well from the beginning, and Zeng Guofan was one of them.
The eldest brother believes that only by practicing Zeng Guofan's wisdom can we continue the glory of the family.
Of all the books about Zeng Guofan, Biography of Zeng Guofan written by Zhang Hongjie is the easiest to understand.
Take advantage of the double 1 1 to buy a book to go home and make it your pillow book.
Reading a few pages every day will yield a lot.
The best time to read Zeng Guofan was ten years ago, followed by now.
If you don't study at this time, when will you stay?
